Xiaomi has officially expanded its smart home portfolio with the launch of the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Pet Feeder 2 (Visual Edition) on the Youpin platform. Designed for users who require meticulous monitoring of their pets’ dietary habits, the upgraded feeder introduces high-definition visual tracking and advanced AI capabilities. Please note that at this time, this product has been introduced exclusively in China.
Core Features & Technical Specifications
The primary hardware upgrade of the Mijia Smart Pet Feeder 2 (Visual Edition) is its integrated 5-megapixel high-definition camera, which allows for real-time monitoring with a wide 150° field of view.
-
Night Vision Capabilities: The camera is equipped with a 940nm infrared fill light, ensuring crisp and clear recording even in complete darkness.
-
AI Recognition: Leveraging Xiaomi’s AI camera algorithms, the device automatically detects when pets approach the bowl and accurately records their eating status.
-
Capacity & Mechanics: The feeder features a 5L large-capacity silo capable of holding 2.5kg of pet food—sufficient for approximately 30 days of feeding for an adult cat or small-to-medium dog. It accommodates kibble sizes up to 18mm and includes a built-in anti-jamming mechanism that automatically reverses the motor if food gets stuck.
-
Ecosystem Integration: The feeder fully supports Xiaomi HyperConnect for seamless smart home synchronization. It also features a built-in emergency power supply system and triple-sealed moisture protection to keep food fresh. For video storage, users can choose between paid cloud storage or local microSD card support (16-128GB).
Market Impact & Pricing
For users heavily invested in the Xiaomi smart ecosystem, this feeder bridges the gap between standard automation and interactive pet care. The 24-hour real-time monitoring and exact portion controls provide essential utility for busy households. Because this is currently a China-exclusive release, the pricing is highly competitive for that market: it opens crowdfunding at 449 CNY (approximately $65 USD), with a suggested retail price of 549 CNY (approximately $80 USD).
